Keep the Promise to the Coal Miners: Tuesday, September 28, 2004

Keep the Promise to the Coal Miners

As citizens of the U.S. we owe a great debt of gratitude to this nation's coal miners. They provide coal, which in turns creates the essential electricity that our lives revolve around. Right now they are under attack by large corporations and certain elected officials who want to deny the miners of the 1946 Promise Congress gave to them for cradle-to-the-grave health care. The coal miners have always been there for us, now we need to be there for them.
